| Series Information     | http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/                |
| Video Source           | OTA ATSC @ 1080i, capped during the original run |
| Video Codec            | x264                                             |
| Video Quality          | ~2400 kbps (1/2 DVD per episode)                 |
| Video Resolution       | 720p (1280x720)                                  |
| Audio                  | Untouched 5.1-channel AC-3 audio                 |
+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| NOTES                                                                     |
|                                                                           |
| Frame rate: The source is a mix of 24fps material telecined to 30fps and  |
| true 30fps material.  Although the 24fps material consists mostly of the  |
| present-day landscape scenes (arguably the prettiest parts of each        |
| episode), they comprise only 10-25% of each episode, so it was decided    |
| that it would be better to keep the original 30fps frame rate.            |
|                                                                           |
| Container format: Although the MKV format is more efficient, the space    |
| savings would have been insignificant relative to the size of each        |
| episode, and the use of AVI ensures that each episode can be "natively"   |
| played by Windows 7, with no need for any additional software.            |
|                                                                           |
| A small portion of episode 3 was lost due to glitches; this was repaired  |
| by splicing in the same scenes from a different source recording.         |

Thanks very much for the great upload.

FYI to d-loaders about the video: Although this looks very interesting (it's Ken Burns!), don't expect to be blown away by the footage (i.e. 'Planet Earth') as this is a historical account, and much of the footage is old--not newly shot breathtaking landscapes. Just so ya know.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing this! I'm so very passionate about the US National Parks. I will probably be buying this once I have the spare funds.
